C271 I Didn't Think too Much about It
Yang Chen turned his head to look. They were all his acquaintances, Yuan Heewei, Yang Jieyu and his wife, as well as the Zhonghai City Committee secretary, Faang Zhongping.
Seeing Yang Jieyu, Yang Chen had a strange feeling in his heart. There were some things that the two of them didn't mention, but neither of them were stupid. There were a lot of things that they could have guessed, but this kind of paradoxical, confusing situation, neither of them dared to speak carelessly.
Faang Zhongping's face was gloomy. When he saw Yang Chen, he forced a smile. However, his eyes seemed to be chasing after the direction Tang Wan had left in.
Could it be that Faang Zhongping was one of Tang Wan's suitors? But he didn't think too much about it, because he already had enough trouble tonight.
"I didn't expect you to be here, and I didn't expect you to be Director Lin's husband. It really surprised us all." Yuan Heewei said with a smile.
Yuan Family was the largest family in Zhong Hai. Participating in this party of Liu Family was obviously a friendly gesture to give face to Liu Family.
Yang Chen was quite receptive to this modest and decisive Patriarch, as it was much better than Liu Kangbai. He asked, "How is Yuan Ye's injury?"
Yuan Heewei laughed and said, "That kid is recuperating at home every day. He's almost recovered. The doctor said that he's healthier than before, just that he's fatter."
Yang Chen was not surprised, his previous cultivation experience, the genuine qi, did not lose to him for nothing.
"Yang Chen, you know Tang Wan?" Faang Zhongping suddenly asked.
Yang Chen was stunned, he nodded and said: "Yes, but we haven't met much."
Faang Zhongping seemed to have understood something and heaved a sigh of relief.
Yuan Heewei and Yang Jieyu had different expressions on their faces, but they did not say anything.
Yang Jieyu thought of something and said amiably to Yang Chen, "I met your wife just now. She's such a beauty that even us women can't have any jealous thoughts. But she doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Did you quarrel with her?"
Yang Chen wasn't used to Yang Jieyu's affectionate tone, so he nodded and said, "It's a small contradiction, but it's my problem."
"Seeing her together with the sisters from Cai Family, she should be fine. Your wife manages such a big international company, some temper is unavoidable. But since she's married to you, she always likes you, so you have to be more considerate of her. "
Seeing that Yang Jieyu did the job of a peacemaker, Yang Chen smiled wryly in his heart. How could outsiders know that there were so many things he had to say to Lin Ruoxi. He could only accept it humbly for the time being.
Yang Jieyu smiled and sighed, "I heard from that kid Little Ye that you're already married, and we were curious about who your wife is. Now it seems that you're living a much better life than we imagined, you're so outstanding yourself, and have such a wife. If you have a child in the future, you'll definitely be very happy."
Child... Yang Chen listened to Yang Jieyu's description. It seemed like it was really a beautiful blueprint, but was it possible for him and Lin Ruoxi to be together? Once the party was over, it would be like walking a stranger back home.
He had said earlier that he shouldn't have come to such a party, but it had really happened again before it had even begun.
Yang Jieyu seemed to be moved by his words. "Unfortunately, I heard that both your parents were not around. If your elders were around, I think they would all be proud and happy."
The moment he said that, Yuan Heewei subconsciously pulled his wife's hand, signalling for Yang Jieyu to stop talking.
Yang Jieyu shut her mouth helplessly. She was also a little overwhelmed by her emotions.
Yang Chen smiled faintly and didn't mind it too much.
To the people around, this scene was not as simple as just chatting.
Other people thought that Yang Chen only entered the party because of Lin Ruoxi, they didn't expect to know Tang Wan.
It was one thing to know Tang Wan, but to actually have a close relationship with the husband and wife of Zhong Hai's largest family, the Yuan Family. Even worse, the Fang family's Secretary Fang spoke to him in a very friendly manner.
The weight of these three people were much heavier than Liu Kangbai's of Liu Family. Many of the people present understood that Yang Jieyu had the strong background of Yanjing. Seeing her talking to Yang Chen at this moment, they couldn't help but guess, could it be … This fortunate person called Yang Chen, and one of the hidden members of a large clan that came from Yanjing?
At this time, Lin Ruoxi, Cai Yan, Cai Ning, and Cai Ning, who were already in a corner of the venue, noticed Yang Chen, Yuan Heewei, his wife, and Faang Zhongping chatting. Cai Ning was a bit better off as she knew some insider information. Lin Ruoxi and Cai Yan, on the other hand, never thought that Liu Tie would have connections with someone on that level.
Lin Ruoxi's heart was filled with mixed feelings. The reason she brought Liu Tie here was to let him get to know more of the upper class. Unexpectedly, not only was he on good terms with Yuan Ye of Yuan Family, he even knew Yuan Heewei, his wife, and Secretary Faang Zhongping. But these things, Yang Chen never mentioned in front of her.
I was still foolish enough to want to help him establish a foothold in Zhong Hai. Looks like my actions have always been mocked in his heart … …
Yang Chen didn't know that he had suddenly become the center of attention, and Lin Ruoxi's resentment towards him had increased even further. At this moment, Yuan Heewei said, "It seems like Liu Kangbai had some opinions about you just now. If he really dares to do anything to us, just let us know; we don't want anything to happen to you because of your kindness to us."
I really hope that he will do something. Yang Chen thought in his heart and said: "I know, thank you."
After chatting for a few more days, the party began.
On the dance floor, the dazzling lights began to move. Not far away from the dance floor, the accompaniment band specially invited from Vienna began to play a melodious waltz.
Many men, women, and children brought their partners and spread out on the dance floor, dancing in a variety of steps.
After Yuan Heewei made a very gentleman's invitation to Yang Jieyu, the couple lovingly walked off the dance floor and started to dance elegantly.
Faang Zhongping looked at him enviously before sighing. He walked to the corner of the dance floor alone and sat down.
Yang Chen also did not plan to dance. Just as he was about to find a place to drink, he suddenly saw that at the corner of the dance floor, where Lin Ruoxi and the Cai Family sisters were standing, Liu Yun actually appeared there!
Yang Chen frowned. He knew that something bad was going to happen, so he walked over.
At the same time, Liu Yun stretched out his arm and made a standard dance gesture. He smiled at Lin Ruoxi and said, "Miss Lin, as tonight's host, can I invite you to the first dance?"
Liu Yun's actions were obviously a provocation towards Yang Chen. Just now, through a few words of provocation, he had caused a ruckus between Lin Ruoxi and Yang Chen and now, he, who had the advantage of home ground, naturally invited Lin Ruoxi to dance.
Lin Ruoxi was also very troubled. Of course, she didn't want to dance with this man. She wasn't stupid and knew that Liu Yun was purposely trying to humiliate Yang Chen.
However, Liu Yun was the only son of Liu Family, and the owner of the ball tonight. For an occasion like this, inviting her to dance wasn't out of place in terms of etiquette or status. She couldn't say she didn't know how to jump, and she didn't have any reasonable reason to refuse. What should she do?
Cai Yan saw that Lin Ruoxi was in a dilemma and said to Liu Yun: "Young Master Liu, Ruoxi doesn't like dancing very much. Why don't you change it to someone else?"
Liu Yun still smiled gently and said, "Director Cai, my invitation is very sincere. I hope that Director Cai will not interfere."
Cai Ning pulled at her sister's hand, not allowing Cai Yan to say anything. After all, this was a matter that involved the relationship between Cai Family and herself, so it was not appropriate for her to interfere without reason.
"Hey, where did you come out from? As her husband, I haven't even danced with her yet, what are you trying to cause trouble for? "
At this time, Yang Chen stood in front of Lin Ruoxi and said to Liu Yun.
Lin Ruoxi and the Cai Family sisters were stunned as they looked at Yang Chen who suddenly walked over with a complicated expression.
Liu Yun sneered, "Is that so? Mr. Yang hasn't danced yet. I thought he was going to dance with Miss Tang. Miss Tang is also a rare beauty. Mr. Yang can be said to have great luck with women."
Yang Chen laughed strangely, "Are you jealous or worshipping me? Why does it feel like every woman that appears beside me is related to me?"
"Isn't it?" Liu Yun said in disdain.
Yang Chen pointed at the Cai Family sisters behind him, "Then what about them, Director Cai has caught me quite a few times."
"Stinking Yang Chen, why are you pointing at us? Do you want to die!?" Cai Yan's face turned red as if her tail had been stepped on, cursing loudly.
Cai Ning was also a bit embarrassed. Although she knew Yang Chen was arguing with Liu Yun, she still felt a little weird.
After all, the Cai Family sisters were not ordinary women. They could only give a casual laugh and said: "It's my mistake, at least there are some exceptions, but Mr. Yang, you said you wanted to dance, I think Miss Lin might not be willing to dance with a husband like you."
Yang Chen turned around with an expressionless face. He looked at the silent Lin Ruoxi. Their eyes met, and it seemed like there were endless complex thoughts running through their minds.
Suddenly, Yang Chen took three steps back, lifted his arms, stood up and performed a round dance. He performed a standard waltz with the music, and after a few proficient steps, he bent in front of Lin Ruoxi, stretched out his arms, and made an impeccable "invitation to dance" gesture.
Not only Liu Yun, who was prepared to watch a good show, even the Cai Family sisters looked incredulous.
For the first time in her life, Lin Ruoxi's mind went blank. She never thought that Yang Chen would actually invite her to dance. What made her even more surprised was that this mutton skewer seller — he really knew how to dance!
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi felt her heart palpitate.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Ruoxi raised a delicate hand and placed it in Yang Chen's.
"No, it's very rude at the ball. I don't want to be someone with no morals, so I'll dance with you. Don't think too much about it."
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to dance with you."
